Use a variable from a bot flow in a message flow

Platform API

I have noticed that there is no way of using "set participant data" in a bot flow and I am trying to get a variable from a bot flow in a message flow.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Thank you, team.

Hello,

Apologize for the delay - I don't know if you have found your answer already.
If not - Yes, it is possible.

In your Bot flow, let's say that you make use of an "Update Data" action to set the content of a variable (ex: Flow.MyVariableForOutput).
When you enter the variable name in the "Update Data" action, it will declare it and list it in the "Resources - Data" (menu on the left).
Next, select the "Data" entry (under "Resources") in the menu on the left and it will display the variables used in your bot flow.
Click on your "Flow.MyVariableForOutput" variable and it will display a modal window showing preferences for this variable. Under Variable Options section, you can tick the "Output from flow" checkbox.

After you save and publish your bot flow, when you call the bot flow from your message flow, you will see "Flow.MyVariableForOutput" appearing in the outputs (of your Call Bot Flow).
